Forgive me for speaking outside the box here but not all Asian car makers run their workforce on bowls of rice... Japan isn't like that.

Ford on the other hand seem to think its ok to build some of their cars in truly 3rd world countries like South Africa. Judging by the number of people in the Focus forum who have complained about the bad build quality I think that speaks for itself. But its not just Ford who do this, Volkswagen also makes the Polo and I think the Jetta in S.A.

You could not pay me enough to buy a S.A. built car - their workforce just doesn't have the experience or skill to make cars that are on par with what Japan and, perhaps maybe Korea, can do.
